John Kricfalusi came up with the storyline for "Fire Dogs" in about an hour to fill the storyline deadline.
"The Littlest Giant" was made in demand by Nick execs who felt Ren shouldn't be so mean and insane.
The Fire Chief was based on legendary adult cartoonist and animator Ralph Bakshi.
The giants who boss Stimpy around are loosely based on Curly Howard and 'Larry Fine' of "The Three Stooges".
